you are an earthquake
you start without a warning
and you devistate and destroy
and the people can feel you far away
and you cause death
but then you leave
no clean up crew
no instructions on how to clean
all of this rubble
all of this mess
i can still feel you
i can feel the shaking
the fractures are fresh to me
and those moments of terror
remain so vivid
and the way you intended to annihilate
and the way you wanted to eradicate
without a single afterthought
but the overwhelming aftershock
was too cruel
and the citizen
couldn't clean up your mess this time
so the inhabitant of
the chaotic results of you
decided maybe it was time to go...
